Strawberry Sparkler Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse, hull and slice berries. Spoon into sherbet dishes. Combine yogurt and sugar. Drizzle over berries.

Steps:

• Rinse the strawberries. Reserve eight attractive medium size ones. Hull and chop the rest. Mix the chopped strawberries with the liquor, then divide among eight tall champagne glasses.
• Pour the sparkling wine into each glass, pouring a little in at first and allowing the foam to subside before adding the rest. Decorate each glass with one of the reserved strawberries by forcing it partway down on the rim of the glass. Serve at once.

Steps:

• Pulse 1 cup raspberries and 1/2 cup each mint and sugar in a food processor. Let sit 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then strain through a fine mesh sieve. For each drink, combine 1/2 ounce each of the puree and orange-flavored vodka in a glass; top with sparkling white wine and garnish with raspberries.

Steps:

• Process strawberries in a blender until smooth; pour into a pitcher. Stir in cranberry juice and champagne, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until stiff. Sift the superfine sugar three times and add slowly to the egg whites.
• Sift the cake flour and salt five times, and then fold slowly into the egg whites. Sprinkle in the vanilla and fold.
• Bake for 35 to 45 minutes in an unbuttered angel food cake pan.

• For the filling: Dissolve the gelatin in boiling water and add the strawberries, stirring to break up and mix the berries.
• For the icing: Whip the cream with the powdered sugar until thick.
